Naming conventions for objects in the forms database

For any objects that will be stored in the forms database, use these conventions:

  • Names should be in camel case, that is, using no underscores and starting new words with capital letters.
  • Only alphanumeric characters should be used. Alphanumeric characters include the letters a-z, either upper case or lower case, and the numerals 0-9.
  • Object names should not include single quotation marks (').

These conventions apply to all global objects, including names of forms, components, validators, scripts, event handlers, strings, and variables. Individual object types might include additional conventions and restrictions.
